(Updated 10/30/2023)
Disney's live-action slate adapted from classic animated movies continues with SNOW WHITE, coming in 2025. The movie jumps off from the 1937 animated movie SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS, the first animated movie from Disney.
Rachel Zegler (WEST SIDE STORY) stars in the new version of SNOW WHITE. And the movie has a script from the writer of one of the biggest hits in recent memory, which has us very curious to see what the movie will look like when it hits theatres. That's the first image, above, and we'll tell you more below.
When Does Disney's Snow White Come Out?
Disney will release SNOW WHITE in movie theatres on March 21, 2025.
Is There a Live-Action Snow White Trailer?
No footage from the new SNOW WHITE has been released to the public. Right now, anything you see on YouTube that claims to be a SNOW WHITE teaser trailer (and there are a lot of them!) is fan-made.
Snow White Is Co-Written By Barbie's Greta Gerwig
When this SNOW WHITE went into development in 2016, the script was written by playwright and screenwriter Erin Cressida Wilson (SECRETARY, THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN). In 2021, Greta Gerwig was announced as the co-writer. Now, given the incredible popularity of Gerwig's BARBIE, we're eager to see the degree to which her voice is present in the SNOW WHITE script.
Who Directed Snow White?
Marc Webb, best known at this point for his indie hit (500) DAYS OF SUMMER and THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, starring Andrew Garfield, directs the new live-action SNOW WHITE. Webb was hired in 2019.
While the original plan was to film SNOW WHITE in 2020, that was delayed due to Covid. The bulk of the movie went before cameras in 2022, with principal photography being completed in July 2022. There are still some reshoots and extra photography to complete, and that work has been delayed by the actor's strike, which is still ongoing.
Who Else Is in the Snow White Cast?
In addition to star Rachel Zegler, SNOW WHITE features Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, and Andrew Burnap as Jonathan, who is the Prince in this telling. While we don't know all the Dwarf players yet, Martin Klebba has been cast as Grumpy. Ansu Kabia, meanwhile, plays the Huntsman. We'll have a lot more to report in the months to come!
Is the New Snow White a Musical?
The live-action SNOW WHITE is a musical. Songs from the animated original movie, written by Frank Churchill and Larry Morey, will be performed. The only one we know for certain is "Whistle While You Work," but expect others to be confirmed soon.
There will be new tunes as well, by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who also contributed new songs to the 2019 version of ALADDIN.
SNOW WHITE opens in 2025.
